El ojo del huracán is a free inprovisation work by Chefa Alonso playing soprano sax and Albert Klaus who plays piano.
Chefa Alonso (A Coruña) has been practising and teaching improvised music since 1995, as well as composing and perfoming music for theatre and dance. She gives improvisation workshops to musicians, dancers, actors, poets ... in Spain (univesities, conservatories and music schools) and other countries (Belgium – Brussels, Brasil – Sao Paulo, Niteroi) and conduct the Omega (Spontaneous Music Orchestra from Galicia).
Albert Kaul (Germani). His main musical interest is to cross boundary lines. This includes not only the lines between different musical styles, improvisation and composition, music and other genres but it reaches further to aspects of communication such as teaching and learning and performing and audience experiences.
